Garth Drabinsky's dream becomes a nightmare
The theatre community was shocked to learn of the suspension of Livent's founder and vice-chairman
Garth Drabinsky and co-founder, vice-president Myron Gottlieb, amid allegations of "serious
irregularities" in accounting, rumoured to be in the tens of millions of dollars.
The timing couldn't be worse; the day after Livent's latest musical triumph, the world premiere
of Drabinsky's Fosse: A Celebration In Song and Dance, which drew plaudits from critics and
first-nighters on its opening Sunday Aug. 9 at Toronto's (North York) Ford Centre for the
Performing Arts. As Canada's foremost entrepreneur,
Drabinsky dominated the musical theatre field with his aggressive mounting of new
shows and the successful revivals of past musical glories. Besides winning 18 Tony awards for his productions which included
Show Boat and Kiss of the Spider Woman, and such financial successes as Phantom of the Opera and Joseph and the Amazing
Technicolor Dreamcoat, Drabinsky also acquired valuable theatre real estate properties in New York and Chicago as well
as in Canada, where he meticulously restored old theatres.
It was Drabinsky's dream to bring global attention to Toronto as a worldclass live
theatre centre. As a visionary, there's no question that he has contributed significantly
to Toronto becoming the world's third largest musical theatre production centre behind
New York's Broadway and the West End in London. In his published Autobiography with Marq de
Villiers (McClelland & Stewart), Drabinsky revealed that his first venture into theatrical
production was in 1976. "It's hard now to

remember," he recalled, "how barren the Toronto theatrical scene was then." He was concerned that
Toronto was being deprived of first-class theatre. "A play would become a hit in London and on
Broadway, but Toronto had to wait for years to see it, and then by way of a second-rate touring
company." It was during that time frame when Drabinsky
successfully hooked up with City-tv president

Moses Znaimer, and although not financially successful the productions they did stage whetted
his appetite for more live theatre, ala Broadway. The book is true testament to what makes
Drabinksy run. He relates a similar situation he is

now faced with, when he was running Cineplex where he reveals his thoughts that "American
distributors were conspiring with Canadian exhibitors to put an infant Canadian venture out of business." Drabinsky felt he was "being ripped
apart, run ragged . . .
wrestling with the multiple problems of movie production, my other clients,
and my life. It couldn't go on." He also indicated that he was "making too many bad decisions. There was a flaw in my decision -making process. I thought
to myself 'Am I turning the wheel, or is the wheel turning me?"
Enter Americans Michael Ovitz, a former Disney executive, and Roy Furman, an
investment banker, who injected a reported $20 million into the company. Furman took
over as chairman and Drabinsky was relegated to the position of vice-chairman and director of creative development. It was obviously an
uncomfortable situation for Drabinsky, whose
persona wasn't that of a second banana. Now, Drabinksy is faced with a major bone -shaking
investigation of his financial situation dating back to 1995. The media is having a heyday,
parading anything and everything they disliked about Drabinsky.
Although embarrassing and humiliating to these masters of business, some are wondering why it took so long for the financial wizardry
of the new bosses to come up with the "cookie jar" scenario, which has certainly attracted
worldwide attention. Suffice to say, the investigation is ongoing,
most of it, if not all, behind closed doors. Speculation is rampant.
One knowledgable observer commented that this whole debacle may have to do with "this
Canadian who controlled the best houses on Broadway. With Canada boasting 'the king of
Hollywood', how can Americans live with the Canadian king of Broadway?"

Sony utilizes Internet for Melanie Doane campaign John Thomson, director of new media for Sony
Music Entertainment (Canada), reports the launch of an Internet campaign on Columbia recording
artist Melanie Doane's upcoming album, Adam's Rib, two months in advance of the street date. "Can you imagine," jokes Thomson, "a major label
wanting to know what the street thinks about an album before the album is released?"
Thomson also points out that Sony Music is the only label that has "a dedicated new media
group." The group's staff of seven, design, manage and create sites for all of Sony's domestic artists
including Celine Dion and Our Lady Peace. Using the net to enhance the imaging and
profile of Doane and introduce music fans to the Canadian singer/songwriter, the campaign is broken
into two parts: Be A Record Exec For A Day is an online
Swirl 360 set to launch extensive promo tour
After 11 years of hard independent work, Swirl 360 has finally received the break that was necessary for them to release their debut CD, Ask Anybody on the Mercury label.
Twin brothers, Denny and Kenny Scott, now residing in Los Angeles, are in the middle of an
extensive promotional tour that will be taking them
across North America. The first Single, Hey Now Now, has already been named by some as the
summer song of 1998. "We're leaving for Europe in August, then
were off to Australia, Asia and Latin America. Hopefully in the next year we will have sold some
records and just be out there touring on a steady basis," said Denny. In two weeks the album reached top 40 status
in Canada and the U.S and was chosen by MuchMusic as the Choice Cut and the BuzzClip at
MusiquePlus. "This album is really what we would call a power pop record," explains Denny. "All the
stuff on the album is pretty much up -beat compared to some of the pop music that came out in the early
'90s that was kind of dark and depressive."
While in Toronto for two sold -out shows at the Molson Amphitheatre, Shania Twain was
presented with a seven -times platinum award her album Come On Over (photo by Barry Roden)
contest that began the week of Doane's Lilith Fair dates (Aug. 11) and runs for one month. The contest
allows music fans to comment on Doane's imaging and sound in advance of a single (the title track),
going to radio or the album being shipped to retail. Thomson explains that "by paralleling the type
of questions a record exec would deal with prior to releasing an album, we're hoping to offer the consumer an opportunity to play a proactive role in
what it's like to be in the music industry." The results of the questions asked will be compiled and will play a key role in determining
what tracks should be released as singles and what images should be used in the long-term advertising efforts supporting Doane's album. "It's a unique
approach," says Thomson "where the music fan will have an opportunity to offer direct input on the
direction of a new project rather than the label and artist dictating its path."
The grand prize for taking part in Doane's marketing direction includes airfare and
CARAS and CBC pact three The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and
Sciences (CARAS) and CBC Television have jointly announced that a co -production deal has been
reached for the next three years. CBC will televise the Juno Awards in 1999, the millennium show in the year 2000 and the 30th anniversary of the Junos in 2001.
"CBC has been more than a broadcast partner since the first telecast in 1975," says CARAS
president Daisy Falle. "They have embraced our mandate of showcasing and celebrating Canada's
world -class artists and music on the Juno stage each
CMRRA revamps website to expedite data flow
CMRRA first introduced its website in early 1996, one of the first musical rights societies in the world
to have a website. Now, 10 years later, it was found necessary to "wipe the slate clean" and create a
whole new website for CMRRA's publisher clients and those interested in music licensing.
The new site is described as "straight and simple to use," having minimized the time
consuming graphics that slow down the browzing experience.
The new website contains information on: Mechanical Licensing: all the information
needed with regard to obtaining mechanical licensing, including downloadable application
forms; Synchronization Licensing: those interested in
applying for synchronization licenses for film and television use can apply directly from their web browser; fill in the form, send it in and within five minutes a fax is returned confirming the details of
the application; Access to CMRRA Direct: CMRRA's on-line
system for their music publisher clients; A complete CMRRA telephone and email
directory; Those having questions can now experience
the new and improved system that allows the sender to pose questions to CMRRA on any topic relating to music copyright and licensing.
For those visitors who might be looking for the CMPA site, it will be up and running shortly at
www.canadamusic.ca. Another announcement will be made regarding this site in the near future.
accommodation in Toronto, limo transportation, a tour of Sony Music's head office and passes to
Doane's industry -only showcase in mid -September. The second part of the campaign focuses on a
series of full page colour print ads that will run in a number of Canadian consumer magazines. The ads
have a photo of Doane and her web site address (www.melaniedoane.com). No other text will
appear in the ad. "For the first time, Sony Music is advertising the artist's web site rather than the site
address being an addendum within an ad," concludes Thomson. The campaign parallels the launch of Doane's
new site which was designed by Sony Music in partnership with Doane. It should be pointed out
that this is the first horizontal scrolling site designed at Sony Music; bold colours, lots of exclusive
content, hand-written album lyrics from her scrapbook, hand-picked photos, advance song
samples from her new album, a tour diary from Lilith Fair, virtual postcards, a mailing list and more, all of which can be found at
www.melaniedoane.com.
year production deal year. As we approach the millennium and move into
the new century, the Academy looks forward to a continued strong partnership with CBC and some
exciting and innovative Juno shows." Phyllis Platt, executive director of CBC's Arts
& Entertainment programming, shares Falle's enthusiasm, pointing up that CBC and CARAS
share a common goal, "to bring great Canadian artists to Canadian audiences from coast to coast.
And year after year, nothing comes closer to achieving that goal than the Juno Awards. We look
forward to another three years of working together to celebrate Canadian talent as it should be
celebrated." The Juno Awards will be telecast live from
Copps Coliseum in Hamilton on the CBC Television Network on March 7 of next year.
Epic recording artist Patty Loveless receives Sony gold for her latest release Long Stretch of
Lonesome, presented to her by Sony Music's east coast marketing representative Daniel Robichaud.

When CISS-FM's morning guy Cliff Dumas, who is also thevoice-over and the co -producer of the CCMAAwards, remarked, after accepting CISS-FM's BigCountry Award as country station of the year,"WOW! This is great. Now we'll start playing somecountry music," he must have known something wasrotten in Denmark. Just this week, that consultant"from away", as they say down east, has finallyseen the light . . or the ratings, and decided thatthe Toronto new country or whatever, powerhouseis going for the "pure, new country." That's badnews for some of the over -promoted rockers whowere thinking of become hat acts. (EC: Will that benew hat acts or old hat acts???)
Holiday in Canada!!! The ailing loonie has beena boon to the holiday regions of Canada. A numberof radio stations across the country have beenpromoting the fact that Canadians "from away" asthey say in Atlantic Canada, have been boostinglocal economies. A flood of visitors has hit PEI,much to the delight of Sam Sniderman and wifeJanet who are spending more and more time at theircottage on Brackley Beach. By the way, Sam isn'tgetting older, he's getting more interesting. What agreat article in the Toronto Star (Aug. 8/98), whereSam talked to Fulton King about his love affair withPEI and some interesting details about his past 61years in the business. It's all condensed down tohalf a page, which doesn't really justify thisCanadian icon, but, along with the photo, it certainlyadds to his charm. (EC: What would we do withoutSam???)
Earth to Sam!!! Where was Sam when they startedto talk about tearing down the grandstand at theCNE? I was hoping he would put forth a proposalto make that "great place by the lake" into aCanadian Music Hall of Fame!!! (EC: Call itSniderman's Music Hall of Fame!!!!) Think aboutit. The grandstand building could house the Hall of

Fame and CRIA and CIRPA and CARAS and haveall the great archives of Cancon. Even all the issuesof RPM back to February 24th,1964 and the originalawards that became the Junos. Meanwhile thegrandstand could be used for Cancon concerts. Thepossibilities are endless! (EC: Could there be somemoney hanging around somewhere???) Do it Sam!It's not too late!
Musical chairs??? It was interesting to see thefollowing in the Toronto Star " . . . said a sourceclose to the investigation," and "The sourcespeaking on the condition of anonymity told TheStar . . . " and in The Globe and Mail " . . . oneperson close to the company . " and quotes fromcompany insiders, industry insiders and formerLivent executives was an indication that journalismin Canada is about to change. This can only makenewspapers more interesting. It may lead to lettersto the editor with names withheld. Not muchdifference! (EC: Are we becoming moreAmericanized???) Some hidden meaning there?
Summer jobs??? Once a year these people comeout of the woodwork representing high profileevents, like exhibitions and you wonder why theywere let out. Talk about negative promoting! Andthese guys come back year after year after year. Iguess it's just a job, but why give them so muchauthority? Now I know why the grand old lady ofall exhibitions is in trouble. Does the generalmanager ofr any of the people on the board ofdirectors ever check out who's representing them?I'll bet a lot of it has to do with nepotism. If youhave to use your position to get your sons ordaughters a job in your own company or industry,they can't be very good to begin with. (EC: That'sbeen proven many, many times!! ! )
Not enough tinsel??? Michael Jordan got themessage before he pissed away more bucks hisorganization spent on researching the Torontomarket as a restaurant site . . . and bailed. Well, itseems like the tinseltown, LaLa land conquer -the -world -of -tourism chain of waterholes, has lost itsshine. Planet Hollywood, although still pulling afew at its Toronto location, the last time I looked,doesn't appear to be doing too well elsewhere.There's been a stock drop of 75 per cent in the pastyear, even though major investors like Bruce Willis,Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger havebeen out and about praising the glories of thesetourist traps. (EC: Never piss off the media!!!)
Onward and upwards!!! Received a nice notefrom Deb MacCallum who is running InternationalMarketing for Sony Classical. She reports directlyto New York where she actually spends 25 per centof her time there and meets fairly regularly withFaye Perkins who as senior director of internationalmarketing is the number two in overall marketingand oversees that staff based in New York. Debalso reminds me that another former Sony ClassicalCanada employee Laura Kszan, who also workedat Sony's Toronto branch for a time, is with SonyClassical New York as packaging manager in theeditorial department. Not bad for a bunch ofCanadians whose talents were discovered earlyenough to give them that warm international glow.By the way, it was Deb who brought Faye and Lauraand Tal (Hebdon), who now heads up Sony Classicalin Toronto, into the Sony fold. (EC: Is thatcomeradery, or what???)
We're off to MIDEM Miami!!! I didn't expectthe MIDEM Latin America & Caribbean conferenceto be very successful, considering it was in Miami
and with no Cuban presence. But, there it is . . .back again for the second year, and from all reports,it's going to be even bigger and more successfulthan last year. We're taking our Latin Music Specialto Miami where it will be displayed at the CanadaStand and in all the hotels around the conventioncentre. (EC: Miami in August???)
How about a Cuban conference??? With all thepolitical whohaw going on about Cuba, we'reforgetting that Cuban music is and has been veryimportant for a century or more. So why hasn't someaggressive music lover proposed a Cuban musicconference where everyone can take part? It couldbe held in February when the weather is friendly,but not so friendly at home. I'll bet the Canadiangovernment could be tapped for seed money, and Iknow just who would be lining up at the troughfirst. Hey! Something to think about. But then againwhy does government have to be tapped? (EC:That's the Canadian way, eh???)

Gillian Welch111, VONG1'14,
GILLIAN WELCH - Country/FolkHell Among The YearlingsAlmo-80021-JIn just two weeks and four days, Hell AmongThe Yearlings was recorded. Even thoughthere was such a short recording period,Welch has possibly made another album thatwill gain her one more Grammy nomination.Her first nomination came with her 1996release, Revival. With the overwhelmingamount of banjo and classic countryinstruments on the album it's no wonder thatWelch has been classified from neo-traditional country to American Primativebluegrass. After attending UC Santa Cruz andduring her stay at Berkelee College Of Musicin Boston she met up with David Rawlingswho is responsible for the mixing andengineering four songs, playing on and co -writing all 11 songs with Welch. This seemsto be a product to aim at the classic countryor folk consumer. -JI
MONTANA SKY - CountryUnderneath The MoonWolfe Lake Music -003Winner of the Big Country Award this year asoutstanding new group, the Toronto area -based Montana Sky have obviously made animpression on country programmers.The titletrack, taken as the first single, was a veryimportant door -opener, gaining impressivechart action. A Whole Lotta Love, the band'scurrent single, is making good gains up theRPM Country 100, bulleting up to #37 thisweek. The guitar influence is heavy andcleverly countrified with this production byRandall Prescott and Jon -Park Wheeler andis provided by Keith Kirkpatrick (lead guitar,vocals), Charlie Kyte (electric and acousticguitars and vocals), and Larry MacDonald,acoustic guitar, vocals). The other
Montana sky
bandmembers are Tom Evans (drums), RonGoodacre (keyboards), and Tim Lee (bass).MacDonald solo wrote the title track andteamed with Wheeler for A Whole Lotta Love.Effective, punchy vocals with a no -foolingprojection brings the song message intoproper focus on those tracks as well as on ITake It Back and Like I Love You, bothMacDonald originals. Little Darlin', written byMacDonald, Prescott and Wheeler also showspotential for a single release. The album was
recorded at Prescott's Lakeside Studio and atThe Hip House in Toronto. Contact: 416-490-1400 ext. 272 or fax 416-400-1401. All tracksare full MAPL. -WG
BRETT RYAN - PopEscaping GravityBratt-9807Seasoned performer, east coaster Ryan(Halifax) lays his talent bare here, havingchalked up two previous successful albums.Although categorized as pop, Ryan treads thatline with a great deal of flexibility. This is not acultured vocal presentation. Ryan is a naturalstoryteller and, with the help of co -writer KenMacDonald on nine out of the 12 tracks, plusthree which he solo wrote, therein lies themystique of Ryan. His interpretations of thesemessages are fanciful and free -wheeling.Perhaps his vocal properties and intenseprojection talent is best displayed on For BetterOr Worse, an eclectic piece of music thatharnesses Ryan's aggressive spirit with a
maxi -splurge of instrumental beauty thatmakes this a key track. Check it out; mandolinby Dave Maclsaac, Bill McCauley onHammond organ, drummer Dave Langguth,bassist Jamie Gatti percussionist Tom Roach,and guitarist James Logan and toss in somebeautiful background vocals by LisaMacDougall and Ryan, who is also heard onkeys and acoustic and electric guitars, and youget the idea of the entertainment value here.Also key is In The Margins Of A Masterpieceand Newton's Law with Larry Gowan on keysand the picture is almost complete. By the way,that's Nick VanEede doing the narration andcarnival sounds and background vocals. Butwait! Don't overlook A Place In The Universewith GuyTurner on keys. Great stuff. Producedby Ryan and Terry Brown and recorded atSolar Audio in Halifax and Orchard Studio,Number Nine Sound and Town Music inToronto. Contact: 902-429-9005. -WG
DICK MALONEY - Easy ListeningThe Melody Lingers OnHip Elegance -102If you're looking for that rare, listener pleasing,moon is blue, I love you type of crooner, you'vegot him right here. A veteran of this easylistening music for which there is still a greatdemand, Maloney wraps his exquisitely timedvocals around time -worn classics from Georgeand Ira Gershwin; I've Got A Crush On You,They Can't Take That Away From Me,Embraceable You and Nice Work If You CanGet It; Cole Porter's, Night And Day; NoelCoward's, I'll See You Again; and OscarHammerstein and Richard Rodgers', It MightAs Well Be Spring, and more. A nicely puttogether package of memorabilia. Maloneyshows he's no slouch in the writing department
as well with his solo penning of No MoreSearching, I Couldn't Have Made It WithoutYou and Casablanca Love Song. Nice job onThe More I SeeYou/lt Had To Be You and MoreThan You Know. Great instrumental assist onthis session produced by Phillip Victor Bovaand recorded at Studio VU in Val des Monts,Quebec. All tracks are two -parts Cancon (AP)with the exception of the Maloney originalswhich are four-part. Contact 1-800-441-8804.
ARTHUR LYMAN - ExoticaThe Legend Of PeleRykodisc-50432Long before concept albums became de riguer-- 1957 as a matter of fact -- Arthur Lymanand his group recorded this musical saga of aHawaiian fire goddess. It's all quite pleasant inthe trademark Lyman exotic Hawaiian styleand more than somewhat tongue in cheek.One doesn't expect to hear, for example, 76Trombones, Cumana and Fascination in analbum about a South Seas semi -deity but whatthe hey. What's important is that the sounds,wonderfully reproduced almost half a centurylater, are pleasantly melodic and restful withoutever being soporific. Alert listeners will notethat a few of the titles have been improperlynumbered, Cumana for one, but that doesn'ttake away from the overall pleasure. TriviaNote: The composer of Fire Down Below isshown properly as Ned Washington but nomention is made of actor Jack Lemmon whocollaborated in its composition when heappeared in the film of the same title with RitaHayworth, Robert Mitchum and Torontoresident Murray Kash, brother-in-law ofMaureen Forrester. That was the film thatintroduced the limbo to North Americanaudiences. -BW

WYNTON MARSALIS - Jazz/BluesThe Midnight BluesColumbia -68921-HAt the de facto dawn of Hi-Fi, Jackie Gleasonfronted a large studio orchestra playing lusharrangements -- some by Tommy Dorsey -- oflove songs featuring Bobby Hackett ontrumpet. Now, Robert Freeman fronts a huge,48 members -string orchestra playing hisarrangements of mood songs featuringWynton Marsalis and his trio (Eric Read, piano;Reginald Veal, bass; and Lewis Nash, drums)on an album that's chart rising nicely south ofthe 49th. For listeners with long memoriescomparison is inevitable and ... unfair. BobbyHackett was and Wynton Marsalis is anexcellent trumpeter. Both could/can play in anymode.The former, with Gleason, was essenceof dreamy; the latter has a certain snappierbite to his playing. No doubt Marsalis has heardand admired the playing of Hackett; no doubtHackett would have enjoyed hearing theyounger man. No doubt, today's listenersshould enjoy the present while treasuring thepast. Speaking of which, be aware that TheMidnight Blues was recorded in standard time.La plus ca change. -BW
ALBUM PICKVINCE GILLThe KeyMCA Nashville -70017-JIf You Ever Have Forever In Mind, the first single from this release, is now a secure Top5 hit (#3) on the RPM Country 100 and just a short jump into the top of the chart. Thesheer amount of airplay has guaranteed a monster seller at retail. All 13 songs on thealbum are brand new, 10 of which Gill solo wrote. He co -wrote the first single with TroySeals, Don't Come Cryin'To Me with ReedNielsen, and Live To Tell It All with SonyaIsaacs, who also provided backgroundvocals. All are key tracks. Also contains MyKind Of Woman/My Kind Of Man, abarnburner of a duet with Patty Loveless.The song is a Gill original and could be animportant follow-up to his current single. Gillhas also brought in a number of prettypowerful voices who supplied backgroundvocals. Most notably is Alison Krauss, JeffWhite and Billy Thomas on The Hills OfCaroline, Lee Ann Womack on Kindly KeepIt Country, Sara Evans on I Never ReallyKnew You and Faith Hill on What They AllCall Love. The title track could be a left -fielder. That identifiable Gill vocal instantly adds the right amount of ambience to bringthe message home.This special "connected"CD links Gill's website and MCA Nashville'shome page. Gill's Canadian date will be at Toronto's Molson Amphitheatre on Sept. 2.The album was produced by Tony Brown. -WG
